I’m just whining! But, if you can help…

I have been playing this game for nearly a decade. Of recent, things are not the same. For example while many reported having residences reporting a decrease in services needed, in my Capital City and both regions they report 1 +1. As such, I’m having to give up valuable real state for services and utilities. At the current rate I’ll need additional real estate (about half the size of current city) just for services and utilities; and I refuse to spend real money to expand cities.

Additionally, while I have reached level 58, I’m now only receiving one new property after every 8-10 upgrades on other properties, whereas in the past it was nearly one new property for every property upgrade. On top of that, many of the graphics have stopped functioning. I.e., sewage and water pumping facilities no longer show any movement.

On another note,  I like trains. But, the introduction was poorly planned and executed. Since rail traffic proceeded the auto, it should have been incorporated thusly, and consideration of the design issues was not adequately provided. Again, like other areas in the game, the lack of associated resources like bridges, the limited number of stations, and the restriction of rail traffic to passengers, shows a failure to embrace the idea fully.

And what is up with trade depot? Previously, you could surf through the depot 7 or 8 times and find items you wanted or needed. Now, you can literally spend over an hour hitting as many offers as you can, before refreshing and find nothing. Every once in while, you’ll find someone selling more than one item, and possibly something you like, only to click on it, be told, there is an error or it’s been sold.

on similar note, the obtaining of area expansion and storage expansion items has, dwindled, unless you spend real money, again. If this EA’s premise maybe it should offer this as subscription or the outright purchase, just like their other Sims games. I could go on and on, but, as I said I’m just whining, and EA never seems to respond.

Thanks for listening.
